HYMN.  T.  146. 

Now  let  us  praise  the  Lord 

With  body  soul  and  spirit, 
Who  doth  such  wondrous  things 

Beyond  our  sense  and  merit  ; 
Who  from  our  mother's  arms, 

And  earliest  infancy, 
Hath  done  great  things  for  us  ; 

Praise  him  eternally. 

O  gracious  God,  bestow 

On  us,  while  here  remaining, 
An  ever-cheerful  mind  ; 

Thy  peace  be  ever  reigning  : 
Preserve  us  in  true  faith 

And  christian  holiness, 
That  when  we  go  from  hence 

We  may  behold  thy  face. 

THE  FESTAL  DOXOLOGY. 

Unto  the  Lamb  that  was  slain, 

A?id  hath  redeemed  us  out  of  all  nations  of  the  earth  ; 

Unto  the  Lord  who  purchased  our  souls  for  himself; 
Unto  that  friend  zvho  loved  us,  and  washed  71s  from  our 
sins  in  his  ozvn  blood; 

Who  died  for  us  once, 
That  we  might  die  unto  sin  ; 

Who  rose  for  us. 

That  we  also  might  rise  ; 

Who  ascended  for  us  into  heaven, 
To  prepare  a  place  for  us  ; 


And  to  whom  are  subjected  the  angels,  and  powers,  and 
dominions  : 

To  him  be  glory  at  all  times, 

///  the  church  that  waiteth  for  him,  and  in  that  which  is 
aronnd  hi  in, 

From  everlasting  to  everlasting  :     Amen. 

Little  children,,  abide  in  him  ;  that  when  he  shall  appear, 
we  may  have  confidence,  and  not  be  ashamed  before  him 
at  his  coming. 

HYMN.  T.  159. 

Sing  hallelujah,  praise  the  Lord, 

Sing  with  a  cheerful  voice  ; 
Exalt  our  God  with  one  accord, 

And  in  his  name  rejoice  : 
Ne'er  cease  to  sing  thou  ransomed  host, 
Praise  Father,  Son  and  Holy  Ghost  ; 
Until  in  realms  of  endless  light 
Your  praises  shall  unite. 

There  we  to  all  eternity 

Shall  join  the  angelic  lays, 
And  sing  in  perfect  harmony 

To  God  our  Saviour's  praise  ; 
He  hath  redeemed  us  by  his  blood, 
And  made  us  kings  and  priests  to  God  ; 
For  us,  for  us,  the  Lamb  was  slain  : 
Praise  ye  the  Lord  !     Amen. 

The  Lord  bless  thee,  and  keep  thee  ; 

The  Lord  make  his  face  shine  upon  thee,  and  be  gra- 
cious unto  thee  ; 

The  Lord  lift  up  his  countenance  upon  thee,  and  give 
tnee  peace  : 

In  the  name  of  Jesus  :  Amen.
